Recommended Posts

Aww, my mom just ordered a mx510 for her laptop on amazon at $37. Do you think I should cancel it and order her a 518 instead?

your mom should be ok with the mx510....is she a gamer? mx510 and mx518 are more for gamers but hey a mouse is a mouse

never though about it...getting beat by your mom in CS, her typing pwned or 1337 at you... :pinch:

use use a mx1000, the way my computer is setup under my desk i cant use a mouse with a cord, unless i get an usb extention or put the comuter on my desk, but it gets in the way of my speakers

This mouse looks pretty slick but ever since they came out with the MX1000 Laser Mouse I've been waiting for a corded version to come out. Now they come out with this MX518, I have a MX510 so I'll have to wait for reviews to see how much better this mouse is. I'm not too fond of the adjustable resolution being on top of the mouse, I don't want to hit that by accident when I'm using my scroll wheel for something in the middle of a FPS game. The one thing that would be cool with all this adjustment if it could "Sense" when say... you select your AWP in Counter-Strike, and lower the speed so you can snipe better, then when you switch to your pistol or when just using something else it would be higher speed... Now I know gamers would want that. Half the trick to setting your mouse speed in that game is trying to find a good balance for your playing style but having presets for different guns or when you zoom your rifle... now that would kick ass.

So in short, I'm waiting for reviews, if its not that much better then the MX518 I'll hold off for a MX Corded Laser mouse... since they same themselves how much better it is I'm assuming they'll wait a few months and release that next.

Hey, I got an MX510 for christmas and I'm asking you guys if you know if the software that's shown in the logitech demo ==mx518 site== will be compatible with my MX510.

It would rock because I could adjust the sentisity for each fps I play!!!!

thx

There's a new version of SetPoint that only supports the 518. There might be a way to haxorize it to work with the 510 but it probably wouldn't work right (the 510 is only 800 dpi while the 518 is 1600 dpi, meaning the dpi selector might fubar the 510).

    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
    • New dev usually means more trash. I also despise that they censored the 1 remake.
